    Funnily enough your own map shows how Australia is actually perfectly siuted for extensive rail

    Yes, it has been attempted many many many times, it’s now parodied in our own parks and rec style comedy program:

    certainly also has the population to support one as well

    I don’t think you are noticing just how sparsely populated we are and how big those mountains are in between the cities

      That is exclusively a problem of politcal and may be incompetence. It doesn’t change the fact that Australia is extremely well suited for HSR covering the majority of its urban population. All with a single line.
